In Korea, there are two systems of ship registry and ship registration in connection with public announcement system of ship. On the other hand, depending on the gross tonnage of the ship, (i) ship registry and ship registration are all required, (ii) ship registration is required without ship registry, and/or (iii) ship registration is not required. Special cases such as fishing vessels may require registration under other laws besides the Ship Act. These are also applied to the transfer of ownership of the vessel. In each case, there is a difference in its effect, respectively. Korean registration of ship registry and ship registration is very complicated. Later, it would be good to have a unified legal system for registry and registration of the ship. Regarding the transfer of ownership, in case that ship registry and ship registration are all required, it is desirable that the transfer of ownership takes effect after ship registry and/or ship registration. In case that ship registration is required without ship registry, the current rule should be replaced with the Korean Commercial Code instead of the Ship Act. In addition, recognition of both ship registry and registration results in increased complexity and cost of the procedure. Therefore, it would be preferable to adopt a unification plan for ship registration.
